Show me

Show me what it means

to love somebody

show me what it means

to be loved

in that easy back-and-forth

in that natural Grace

to know and to be

to see you with me lovely

Show me how it feels

to love somebody

show me how it feels

to be loved

on the telephone far away

how with our words we play

we say what we mean

we say what we feel

we know what we say

is true and real

show me what it means

to be real

Show me what it means

to love somebody

show me what it means

to be loved

in the silence

in the space

in the light that shines on your face

and your eyes

bright and blue deep

within your heart

I know it’s true

deep within my soul

I know you

Show me how it feels

to love somebody

show me how it feels

to be loved

before the beginning of time

my hand measured

fitted with the glove

of that one who’s known me

who searches for me

who loves me

without ever having met me

the picture of thought

the feel chemistry

Phoenix burnt and reborn,

death salvation resurrection

Thy love shorn

and built and ballasted

stable and real

tested

everything

that one thing

that I prayed for

decades ago

it took time to create

to set in front of me

it’s your promise

it’s your word

your proof

that I’ve been heard

through every hurt

every trial

through hell and denial

your grace

Your countenance

your face

Gazing upon me

let it be

let it be

let it be
